When mine manage to tear a toy to where they can eat any part of it I figure it's time to trash it. No point taking chances.

Sometimes I answer one of those only to remember before hitting submit that you catch more flies with honey than vinagar and delete the entire response. Unfortunately I don't have that option face to face and often offend idiots rather than educate them.

I hope you are able to do it somehow. I know we couldn't without a miracle, but I'd be praying for a miracle if it were mine and will for yours. lots of hugs.

Sixty miles isn't all that far nowadays. Is there a reason that he cannot drive? My opinion is that if this is that important to you he should be able to find some compromise once the initial emotional reaction is over. If he doesn't even try to find one then I would wonder if he considers...

Ever since one of my feral rescues got caught in a bag as a kitten and it "chased" him around the house while he was in a panic I ve kept them securely put up. Ghost does her best to get hold of them, but thanks to opposable thumbs I can still foil her.

I'm not sure ours bother them, about half follow me into the bathroom.

Talk about overlooking the obviouse! Thank you for sharing that idea, I've been contemplating all kinds of expensive or complex stuff like buying a special bowl, or buying an extra big one and hammering a bump in the middle. Duh, Just set something he can't move in the center of the existing...

Same here . I have to wrap a pillow around my head when I sleep to keep Archie from pawing at my face and kneading my scalp.

yippee!!!!! you go Addiebee.

Maybe that's it, some people feel threatened by an animal that's smarter than they are, lol. What I can't grasp is how they justify that the new animal is more important than the original. With enough effort on the part of the owner a compromise can generally be found that leaves both...

If it came on suddenly it probably is something an antibiotic will fix. I use the Lysine all the time, not just when someone is having symptoms, and none had URI's in about a year.

I break out every so often when I'm stressed, what works well to cover it for a short time is a green concealer (nuetralizes the red) covered by a mineral powder concealer. It seems unfair that by the time a woman has deep lines and wrinkles she should still have the occaional zit too!

Another NO vote for the OTC's, they are ineffective at best, fatal at worst. While the Rx stuff is costlier, depending on the climate where you live you may not need it year round, only in the flea season. Here in the hot humid south it's flea season most of the time so I treat my dogs once a...

Five of my kitties arrived here in one months time, first male and female feral littermates, then an abandoned Mama cat and her two female kittens. Two had costly medical issues, so I was unable to have them all fixed right away. I opted to nueter the male and wait for spay day to get the...

Don't just rely on the ASPCA list. Great as it is, many plants have different common names in different parts of the country, and depending on the retailer are not always sold under their proper name. I always knew my plant to be a Pothos, but it is listed as Golden Pothos. I discovered...
